DARTMOUTH — Author D.G. Stern will be signing his book “Something Fishy” on Thursday, Dec. 3, 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the DeMello School PTO Book Fair at Barnes and Noble, Dartmouth Towne Center, 392 State Road (Route 6), North Dartmouth.

“Something Fishy” is the second in the Upton Charles Adventure Series (www.UptonCharles.com) for younger readers. The narrator, a fluffy white Bichon Frise dog named Upton, guides his family, including twin pre-teen girls, through many exciting adventures, offering pearls of doggie wisdom and interesting historical facts along the way.

Stern's own Bichon Frise, Upton, will join his author/owner to sign his “pawtograph” for young readers at Barnes and Noble. They will also sign Stern's previous Upton Charles Mystery, “Disappearing Diamonds”.

In “Something Fishy”, a family vacation to the small coastal town of Rocky Point, Maine includes a visit to an old lighthouse on an island, finding an abandoned boat, and a lot of questions. Upton's invaluable assistance leads to the discovery of evidence necessary to put the pieces of the puzzle together and the disclosure of an extensive counterfeiting operation.
